Hi gentooers,
   i'm running a Centrino machine with an ATI Radeon Mobility 9700
card using the ATI proprietary driver.  I would like then to try the
opensource (R300) driver, since this also supports the AIGLX
extensions (at least i think, http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_AIGLX).
However:
1) i don't understand if these opensource drivers are actually in the
Xorg tree or i have to use an external CVS repository (from
http://www.gentoo.org/news/en/gwn/20061009-newsletter.xml it seems
they are in the stable tree);
2) if with these drivers the DRI can be enabled or not;
3) if there exists a definitive howto to help users install these
drivers (http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_DRI_with_ATi_Open-Source_Drivers
is updated?);

Thanks to all,
Marco
